As the busy hustle and bustle of the holiday season sneaks up, it can be challenging to make time for your smile. However, simple solutions help brighten your pearly whites before the new year arrives.
From whitening hacks that work to dental fixes you can squeeze in between wrapping gifts, we’ve got you covered. Below is a crash course in smiling your brightest before the ball drops.
See cosmetic dentistry specialist Kenn Kakosian, DDS, PhD, and the team at DentAlign NYC in Midtown East, Manhattan, New York, to smile brighter on New Year’s Eve and beyond.
Dr. Kakosian discusses your treatment options and goals, takes digital dental X-rays when necessary, and determines which smile-enhancing solutions are right for you. Consider the following pre-holiday fixes to perfect a slightly flawed smile in preparation for seasonal photos and New Year’s celebrations.
Teeth whitening at DentAlign NYC is a fast and simple way to make your smile multiple shades whiter during a quick in-office treatment to get holiday-photo ready. You can also choose professional-strength home whitening if you prefer. Teeth whitening uses gel and tooth trays to break apart and eliminate staining for a much brighter smile.
This treatment can rapidly repair an imperfect smile, getting it holiday-ready. Bonding corrects minor damage caused by tooth decay or injuries using tooth-colored composite resin. Dr. Kakosian can restore damaged teeth to their original color, shape, size, and overall look. Resin fillings can also repair minor imperfections and help prevent complications of tooth decay.
Zirconia restorations — including crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays — bond over your natural teeth or replace a missing tooth. These restorations contain E-max® lithium disilicate ceramic that mimics the color and overall appearance of natural tooth enamel.
Zirconia restorations are strong, long-lasting, and sturdy. It takes two appointments, about two weeks apart, to prepare your mouth, fabricate your restoration, and place the restorations. They don’t require downtime after Dr. Kakosian affixes them, and they easily hide cracks, chips, and other minor tooth imperfections.
Dental veneers are thin shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. Also a two-step process that can take a few weeks, Dr. Kakosian offers veneers to address chipped or cracked teeth, close tooth gaps or correct minor alignment issues, whiten teeth that can’t be addressed with whitening gels, and even reshape your smile to be more symmetrical.
Here are some more tips for keeping your grin bright and beautiful for those holiday photos:
